Bennett-Renault Law Firm
Juliette Simonson works as a legal assistant in the banking and finance division of Bennett-Renault, a large law firm in Montreal. Her job requires Juliette to write formal and informal proposals and reports for various purposes. She often writes proposals offering Bennett-Renault's services to prospective and existing clients. Juliette's boss, Sylvia LaPlanche, who is director of Accounts Services, has asked Juliette to do some research and prepare a formal report. The report will help Bennett-Renault's directors determine what additional services the company could offer its clients and how to market those services more effectively.
-Juliette tells Sylvia that she is considering creating a Facebook account. She thinks that people who link to her site may provide some insights about how to market her firm's legal services more effectively. Sylvia, however, is reluctant to agree. What ethical problem raised in the text may be causing Sylvia's reluctance?

A) People aren't usually honest on social network sites, so the information Juliette gets may be misleading.
B) Using a social networking site such as Facebook as a marketing tool without letting the audience know how the information will be used may be dishonest and manipulative.
C) Using a Facebook page to collect information would break federal laws.
D) Legal professionals should not profit from the private thoughts and opinions of the people who post their comments.
